Chapter 386: Drawing a Big Pie
On the weekend morning, Albert was stopped by Truman as he arrived at the Gryffindor table to prepare breakfast, and the Hufflepuff prefect was dissatisfied with the progress of the popularization of the Wizard card and hoped that Albert would come up with a reasonable solution.
The copying of wizard cards was too slow, and it took a lot of time and effort to meet the needs of other club members, many of whom had already complained to him about it.
"Before the Wizard card was actually formed, I wouldn't have built it on a large scale, and I didn't have the equipment and energy to do that. Albert said calmly, "If you think it's too slow, I'd suggest you get someone to copy the wizard cards and give some money." For example, if you help copy a wizard card, give as many nats as you want, a set of wizard cards will only cost a few sicos, and those older students who have free time should be willing to help copy and make a small amount of money. ”
Truman thought about it and decided that the idea would work.
After Truman left, Fred, who was eating roast sausages and frowned slightly, complained, "It's not fair to us, the three of us helped get so many wizard cards, and it's not too much to pay for the hard work." ”
"You are working for yourself, not for someone else. Albert looked at Fred, who was talking incoherently with a sausage in his mouth, and asked, "Which boss have you ever seen pay him?"
The three of them frowned and thought about it, although they felt that Albert's words made some sense, but they always felt that something was wrong.
"Now, before the wizard cards are formed, you start selling for money, aren't you pheating others, but also yourself?" Albert kept his voice down to the point that only a few of them could hear, "Once the reputation is broken, the club will soon be dissolved." ”
"But ......"
"We're definitely going to make money selling packs, decks, and boutique cards in the future, and until then, we need to build our Witcher cards and make them more legitimate, not focus on that little money. ”
"That's not a small amount of money. George muttered.
The Wizard Card Club has a bunch of members, and if it costs money to buy a wizard card, you can earn a small bag of Galleons.
This is indeed not a small amount of money for the Weasley brothers with empty pockets.
However, after being glared at by Albert again, several people obediently shut up.
"The Wizard card will bring us a constant stream of Galleons in the future, instead of reaping a wave now and making things a mess. You should take a long-term view, wizard cards are going to be our first job out of school, and until then, we'd better get the rules and wizard cards in order, and have a sufficient number of people. ”
"I think Albert is right. Lee Jordan didn't understand what Albert was saying, but he felt that Albert was willing to put money into the wizard card after graduation, and he wouldn't let himself lose money, he had never seen Albert make a loss-making deal, not to mention, he had never seen Albert lose money.
Since you don't understand, it's good to follow the people who know how to slip behind your back, and Albert is willing to take them to play together, Lee Jordan still believes in Albert very much.
Fred and George looked at Lee Jordan speechlessly, but didn't say anything.
They do want to make money.
There is no way, people are going crazy with poverty.
"Students who are looking for someone to copy the cards, even if they complain in the future, won't target us because we just provide free templates. Albert said mysteriously, "And, there is a saying...... The free ones are the most expensive, I know you don't understand, but trust me, you will understand later. ”
The three of them looked at Albert in confusion and nodded as if they didn't understand.
Albert glanced at Ron, who had just done it and wanted to eavesdrop on them.
"What are you talking about. ”
"The future development route of the Wizard Card Club. Albert didn't hide it, and smiled and pulled out a notebook from the shape-shifting lizard's leather bag, which was a blueprint for the future development of the wizard card.
The three of them flipped through their notes together, and soon their faces were stunned with an unconcealable look at Albert's overall plan for the Wizard card.
The current Wizarding cards are just getting started, and Albert's goal is to have a large enough Wizarding card loyalist before they graduate from Hogwarts, and to complete the Wizarding card completely.
When they graduate from Hogwarts, they can start taking their first steps.
The full promotion of the Witcher cards, followed by the sale of random card packs, made the game popular in the British wizarding world.
When the Wizard card became famous in the wizarding world, it had its own tavern, similar to the stillborn board game store in the previous life, and maintained a series of activities, and Albert's target was the Leaky Cauldron. And the income they have will go from selling wizard cards to selling wizard cards and selling advertising space.
The last step is to create a similar franchise store, or open a branch, but it is also the most difficult step, and it is still very far away.
It turned out that Albert's development plan for the wizard card had already been arranged. Although all three of them thought it was a bit unbelievable, they also felt that Albert would succeed, and he was in the process of accumulating his initial popularity, and there was no doubt that Albert was doing a good job, and a large number of students had already joined the Wizard Card Club.
Whether it succeeds or not, the three admire Albert's approach.
Lee Jordan didn't look that far on the Wizarding cards, and his goal was simply to make the Wizarding cards popular among the students at Hogwarts.
Fred and George were in a similar situation, their joke shop was also dominated by Hogwarts students, however, Albert's planning for the wizarding card had reached the entire British wizarding world, and even the world.
Although there is a suspicion of turning a flatbread, people really need to have a dream, and if they don't even have a dream, it's no different from salted fish.
Of course, Fred, George and Lee Jordan didn't know that Albert's wish was not as great as they thought, he just wanted to find some friends to help him start a company, help him make money, and achieve the so-called "win-win".
With money, you can do what you want without worries in the future.
However, this seemingly grand blueprint really shocked all three of them.
"And what do you think of our joke shop in the future?" Fred and George looked at each other, finally trying to seek Albert's opinion.
"You can divide and end up taking the route of the magic commodity. Albert thought for a moment and said, "Joke shops can make you a lot of money, but you need to keep in mind that most students are not wealthy. ”
The three of them did not speak, but continued to listen.
"What really makes money is not those joke props, but this thing. Albert shook his protective bracelet and said, "Defense Against the Dark Arts is the real area to make money. ”
"When the store opens, I'll help you get some interesting things and expand the product range, because just selling joke kits has no future. Albert reminded with a smile.
"Funny stuff, what's funny?" Fred couldn't help but ask.
"This. Albert took two metal cards from the shape-shifting lizard's leather pouch and handed them to Fred and George.
"What is this?" asked Fred, puzzled.
"Communication card. ”
"Communication cards?" the trio repeated.
"Write on it, and the other card will have handwriting. Albert noticed the puzzled stares of the three of them, and said with a smile, "This thing costs ten Galleons." ”
"Ten Galleons?"
The three of them stared at the metal card dumbfounded, unable to understand why this thing was so expensive.
"Do you know who this thing is going to sell to?" Albert asked with a smile.
"Sell it to?" asked Fred and George in unison.
"Couples?"
This time, Li Jordan's brain was very fast, "As long as they have this thing, they don't need to write to each other anymore, and they can contact each other directly?"
"I don't think they're going to buy it. Fred suddenly said that ten Galleons were too expensive.
"They're going to imitate you and make it themselves. ”
"They can't figure it out. Albert shook his head, "This involves the advanced use of the Changing Charm. ”
Perhaps, a student who has mastered the Variation Spell can make something similar, but when communicating, both of them must be able to use the Variation Charm, and more importantly, even if both parties can use the Variation Charm, it is difficult to say whether they can present the text in its entirety.
"Sell a pair, and you can take twenty percent. Albert said with a smile, "There should be a lot of couples in the school, and how many Galleons you can earn depends on your ability." ”
"It's dark. ”
"But...... We love it. ”
